Jayne D'Arcy

KINGSVILLE 68 Chirnside Street Sold $890,000 Agent Village Asking price $770,000-plus This three possibly four-bedroom house has been renovated but not lived in, so the crowd of more than 100 were keen on its newness and “nothing to do” appeal. A genuine opening bid of $750,000 was quickly trumped by a bid of $800,000, but from there bids came in a variety of increments. Auctioneer Huss Saad announced that it was on the market at $865,000, and three parties were still keen. A fifth and final would-be buyer made his first offer at $880,000 and bought the house for $10,000 more on his third bid. Jayne D'Arcy
